Sandcastle Cottage on Osoyoos Lake - August Deals! Prime location in complex.

Make memories at the Cottages on Osoyoos Lake, a family-friendly, gated community. Warm and inviting, Sandcastle Cottage is the perfect family destination.

A fantastic spot in the complex, where you can walk to everything (pool, hot tubs, gym, playground, beach) in minutes. One of the few Ambrosia plans with an open, airy, true cottage feel.

Our cottage is stocked with all the little things so you can pack less and have an easier stay. A home away from home.

The complex has everything you need for a perfect vacation. Spend the days soaking up sun on the private sandy beach complete with volleyball courts and a small playground. Take a stroll on the paths in the complex or a dip in the heated pool. There’s even a toddler pool for the little ones. At night get cozy by one of the beach fire pits.

Interested in getting out and exploring? The Cottages are minutes away from dozens of local wineries, and popular hiking trails. We are nestled between the towns of Oliver and Osoyoos. Only a fifteen minute drive in either direction to both town centers where you will find local coffee shops, restaurants, grocery stores and more.

Great stay & excellent location

We had a great stay at sandcastle cottage. The location across from the pool and close to the beach was great for our 5 year old girls. The house had everything we needed and lots of toys and activities for the kids!

Absolutely Amazing family vacation!

This is the best VRBO we’ve stayed at. With 3 young children we really didn’t need to bring anything. There lake house was more than enough space for our families and there was plenty to do for the kids, both inside and outside. The pool is easy to access and the beach right there too! I can’t think of anything to improve on. So happy with this rental, we’ll definitely be back next year!

Wonderful stay

Our families stayed at this property recently and had an amazing time. The house is super clean and we'll maintained throughout. Best of all, it was located steps away from the club house and to the beach which the kids all enjoyed. Long story short, our trip was delayed due to various reasons last year but the owners were very accommodating and worked with me to ensure our stay was enjoyable. Communication was prompt and no issues around. Highly recommended. Thanks again Alicia!

Highly recommended

We stayed at Alicia and her husband’s beautiful cottage a few weeks ago in Osoyoos and the moment we stepped into the cottage we felt like we were at home. Everything was so warm and cozy looking and the cottage was so clean and had everything we needed. Throughout our stay our host checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed and made us feel really welcomed and special. I would rate this cottage a 10/10 and would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to get away on a nice relaxing vacation where you’ll feel at ease and stress free the whole time. I’ll definitely be back really soon and thank you for the wonderful experience!!

Clean, beautiful with everything you need

This is a lovely home and a great space to have family time with the lake and pool but the home itself was great for relaxing or playing board games after a day outside.. Owners were responsive, thoughtful, and reasonable. We had everything we needed and more. Especially happy to have containers to use to pack snacks to the beach and for left overs. Excellent supplies for the beach including a wagon to tote our gear. It’s the little things. Love that it was so clean. Thank you for a great vacation.

Wonderful family vacation!

We had an excellent stay at The Cottages on Lake Osoyoos. From the minute we booked the cottage, Alicia and Corey were perfect hosts and supported us as we navigated organizing a much needed family holiday with our young adult children during this pandemic. We were so amazed at the beautiful and comfortable setting of their Lakehouse when we arrived in Osoyoos. The house did not disappoint. It was bright, clean, spacious and welcoming. Everything was anticipated for a great holiday from the setting to the 5 min walk to beach to the extras in the house like beach towels, well equipped kitchen with great basic pantry amenities, bbq and even board games! We enjoyed sitting in the screened patio room in the morning for coffee or having a glass of wine and relaxing after a full day in Osoyoos. There is an excellent winery and restaurant at Burrowing Owl 5 mins drive away. Highly recommended. We will be back!

Great beach/cottage vacation

This was our second time at the Cottages on Osoyoos Lake and first time in this house. Location is great, house is well outfitted and Alicia was incredibly helpful, friendly and had great communication. We had 3 kids ages 5 and under with us, and the extent to which the house was prepped for kids was amazing and saved us a lot of packing space! Only complaints were a couple minor maintenance items - the king bed only had a queen sized duvet, had to do a hardware store run to grease most the doors (they woke kids up from naps!), and a good number of the outdoor games had missing pieces or were broken. Also didn't realize there wasn't an extension cord to plug in the EV and the regular cord couldn't reach with no garage access. Small items we worked around, and didn't bother to raise (I'm sure if we did, Alicia would have addressed them!) Definitely would come back to this rental if we choose the Cottages again!

Far exceeded expectations!

We just returned from an absolutely fantastic stay at Alicia's Sandcastle Cottage and I don't even know where to start to say enough glowing things about this home and experience. We were very familiar with the Cottages community and Osoyoos prior to coming, but had not stayed in this exact home. Suffice to stay, we don't ever want to stay anywhere else! From the moment we arrived, I was blown away by all the details provided, from an incredible and generous welcome package which included coffee, snack and even a bottle of wine! To the incredible collection of toys and games for the kids (we were travelling with two toddlers and a 6 year old) to games and books for adults. Everything was perfect. You truly do not need to pack a thing beyond your clothes. Alicia was an incredible host. She was gracious, communicative, and so kindly reassuring when I was concerned one of the kids had caused a bit of damage to a wall. She provided recommendations, offered to assist with anything at all and her listing was not just "accurate" it was far beyond what we could have hoped to expect! I could go on and on, but to sum up, if you have kids, this is the place to rent, Alicia and her family "get it." If you don't have kids, you will also have an incredible time at Sandcastle Cottage with all that they provide, from inflatables to an exceptional bbq to fun and hilarious "grown-up" games. We plan to rent this cottage again and again and can only hope it's still available when word gets out!

Beautiful home and perfect location!

Our family had a wonderful vacation at this property! From the beginning of our booking process, Alicia was an efficient and accommodating communicator in answering all our questions to ensure we would have a smooth and enjoyable vacation once we arrived. The home was immaculate and stocked with everything we could possibly require for our time away, including a well equipped kitchen with all the essential pantry items (coffee, tea, sugar, flour, spices, ketchup, mayo, etc.), a linen closet with beach towels and plenty of extra linens, blankets and towels; beach chairs, toys, a wagon, pool floaties, lawn games, etc. Alicia and Corey really thought of everything guests could possibly require during their stay and even welcomed us with a thoughtful tray of goodies and snacks when we arrived. The geothermal heating/cooling system worked efficiently and we were very comfortable throughout our stay. Bedrooms were spacious with plenty of closet space for storage. Any concerns or questions we had during our stay were quickly responded to and handled efficiently, which we truly appreciated! This home is beautifully situated only a minutes walk from the beach and the pool so getting to these destinations was very accessible. Alicia and Corey were amazing hosts who really went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and memorable and we loved being in their home!

Late summer getaway

Alicia and Cory provide a lovely,clean property with lots of amenities and aceess to the lake and pool. We were set to rent late August but had to push the time to late September due to wildfires. Alicia was very helpful and accommodating. Unfortunately our weather was a bit cooler and the pool and some other attractions closed while we were there, but we explored local playgrounds with our small children and had plenty of outside time. I would rent here again and recommend them to family and friends.

Beautiful Vacation Spot

Cottage was sparkling clean and well equipped for a young family. The complex had very nice amenities and a beautiful private beachfront. Location is around 10-15 minutes outside of osoyoos however worth the small drive in my opinion. NOTE: stick to the main route suggested in the welcome package(do not take any back highways as google maps suggests). Owners went above and beyond to make sure the cottage was family friendly and that we had a great holiday. If wanting to go boating I highly suggest calling "wakepilot" as they can pick you up right from the docks at the cottages. Thanks again.

This was our first time staying at the Osoyoos Cottages and we really enjoyed it. The house was spotless and well provisioned, especially if you have children. Nice open layout, beautiful beach, close to several golf courses and exceptional winery restaurants. Very scenic area of the Okanagan. Alicia was very responsive and checked in to see how we were doing. Overall, a lovely vacation spot.

Construction noise

Lovely home. New construction 50 feet away starting at 7am and continuing well into the afternoon. Nail guns, saws, drills and power tools. We were unable to sit outside due to the noise. I would not have booked this place but obviously I didn't know because the owner hid this information from us.
